  2. Hi Erin, I think we got banded about the same time...I was Aug 4th. My surgeon put 5cc in a 10 cc band during the surgery. Over the first few days I felt my band get tighter. I had a constanst pressure in the center of my chest around the band area that pulled from my back. I could not eat. I didnt want to eat ( I mean drink) even Water was difficult. I had to burp but couldnt. Anyway on post op day five I went to surgeons office and the Phician Assisstant took 3cc out of my band....I am much better. If your band is too tight...which it might be...you need to get some Fluid out of it. Having the band too tight is not good and can cause some serious side efects. Call your Dr office and be persistant. I am in health care and its ok to be persistant. Take care of yourself..please. They need to see you ASAP.
